Customer reviews: Clarimatte™ Invisible Pores Detox Mask

Mrs Catherine Nicholson, 24/11/2014 - It really does work

"I have always had open pores on my cheeks and nose although my skin is not oily plus they are getting worst now I'm over 40. I tried a sample of this product and was surprised how well it worked. I have since purchased a full size bottle and I have used it twice in ten days and I have no visible pores on my cheeks or nose. It is amazing plus it smells reasonably pleasant and it hasn't irritated my very sensitive skin. It is EXCELLENT!"

"I received a deluxe (15ml) sample of this with a previous order and have since purchased a full-size product.Pros:* lasts well - I have used this several times; a couple of times over my whole face and sometimes just on my nose and chin and still have some left to use of the 15ml sample.* smoothes skin - immediately after using, my face feels really soft and smooth as though it has been really evened out (and pore size isn't one of my main skin concerns anyway so I imagine this is a really brilliant product for those who are looking for a pore-refining product, as it claims to be).* exfoliates - I think this is a combination of the softening properties of the mask plus the rubbing off after using. I like this as it means I might be able to exfoliate less, although I have used the Micro Polish Cleanser before the mask in order to try to remove stubborn blackheads.* reduces redness and inflammation - I noticed that spots/blemishes look soothed and reduced straight after use, which is great for me as it means I don't feel the need to splash out on the ClearCalm mask as well.Cons:* I feel as though the benefits don't last as long as I would like, which means regular use is required. * given that it is aimed at removing impurities and refining pores, I would have hoped it would be more effective at blitzing blackheads, although I am trying to get round this by using it on blackhead-prone areas more frequently and using it on my whole face less often.* the manual rubbing to remove it is difficult for me in some areas, in that it either is stubborn to remove on more 'fleshy' areas and that it feels as though I am overstretching my skin near my eyes, so I have to use a muslin cloth to remove some of it, which means I don't get the full exfoliating benefit."

"I have been using this detox mask for approximately 2 months now and it has significantly improved the appearance of my skin! I have regular breakouts on my forehead, nose and chin and since using this product twice weekly I have less breakouts and the large pores in those areas have decreased dramatically! An excellent product and highly recommend to those who have similar skin problems as me. Thanks REN!!"

Anonymous, 23/10/2013 - How many times a week?

"How many times a week am I allowed to use it? I really love this product! Sadly I'm allergic to Salicylic Acid, and so I couldn't use your blemish prone range and some of the combination skin. I'm planning to buy your ClearCalm 3 Replenishing Clarity Serum soon, since it doesn't contain Willow Extract or Salicilin."

REN replied :

We recommend that you use this up to 3 times per week, focusing on affected areas in particular. REN

"I recently switched from Combination to Blemish prone range but I still continue to use this mask, it's not as strong as the Clarifying Mask however it has always save my skin! I once ran out of it and could not buy it for more than a week and my skin felt terrible, I can't really live without it!"

Mrs Emilie Lopez, 04/09/2013 -

"A very thin layer on the T zone and it is perfect for a pampering time: clearer skin, good effect on pores, that is a good formula. Very good also on a spot, it can dry overnight with a small amount of the mask on it."

Miss Jen Randall, 12/03/2013 - Wonderful

"I have only been using Ren products for a month but already I have seen a noticeable difference in my skin. My skin had become sensitive and stressed recently with lots of redness and spots around the chin area. I tend to use this mask on those days when I can feel those bumps brewing under the skin and it calms and reduces the redness and size of spots with ease. I also love the Hydra Calm range and will continue to use Ren for the first class products and service!"

Miss Jenna Tomlinson, 08/03/2013 - My Favourite Product!

"I received the Combination Skin Kit for my birthday this year and fell in love with all the products, but this mask if definitely my favourite. I have always had very large pores on my cheeks and forehead and after using this mask once, I ordered a full size. The visible difference that it makes to pore size is absolutely amazing and it leaves my skin ver soft and supple. Thanks, REN!"

"Dear Ren, the only thing that I regret about you is that I didn't tried you earlier. I was so afraid of the Phenoxyethanol in your ingredients that I didn't want to try any of your products. But I was so wrong! One day I had a sample of the "Invisible Pores Detox Mask" in my favorite shop and I felt so in love with it that I told myself I have to try other of your products. And i'm so glad i did it, they are all just great and i'm replacing all my routine with them; My skin is alive again thanks to you! No more black spots or dry areas or any other skin problems... Please do not ever stop doing these magical jars!"

"I received a sample on this product with my first REN order and had to order the full size because I really liked it!The only negative point I've found is that when having the mask on I feel kind of an irritation sensation in my eyes if they're opened ... In fact it feels a bit like when 'peeling onions', I feel I can't stand my eyes open without letting out a tear… Has anyone experienced that too?But despite that, It feels really great on my skin and gives such a nice result (smooth and clear skin instantly)!"

"This is the best mask I have ever tried. It genuinely reduced the appearance of my pores. My skin feels smooth, refreshed and sometimes even takes down the colour of spots. It helps if you apply the cream under the chin as well to tighten everything up (in a good way). LOVE."

Miss Sumaiyah Khan, 05/10/2012 -

"Id heard so much about this mask on a number of blogs,and after a little deliberation ordered it.The day after my order I reveived a text informing me that my order would be dispatched the next day.The following day I recieved another text detailing a time for delivery with a bracket of 1 hour and also the name of the driver who would be delivering it!!!!I was very impressed with the attention to detail from REN and look forward to trying the mask itself."

Ms Maria Hunstad, 25/08/2012 - Lovely product

"I love this product. Simple as that!"

Mrs DEBBIE CHAPPELL, 22/03/2012 - Instant Smoother Skin

"I had actually ordered another product and had to choose a freebie, so picked Invisible Pores detox Mask. Just after 1 use my skin felt and looked very smooth. Pores looked the same, but I think I'll carry on and get a full size bottle."

Anonymous, 07/10/2011 - Clean skin

"I love how clean and soft this mask makes my skin feel. I saw that for best results it should be combined with the Glycolactic Radiance Renewal. Can I just clarify do you use the Invisible Pores Detox mask on the first night and then use the Glycolactic mask the following night? Also when you remove the Invisible pores mask do you just rub it so it flakes off?"

REN replied :

We recommend you use the Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask first and the next day follow up with the Invisible Pores Detox Mask. The Invisible Pores Detox Mask can be removed by rubbing it off either when the clay is almost dry or completely dry. Or wash it off if you prefer, but by rubbing it off you also get a gentle exfoliating effect.

"I'm gobsmacked at the result this has had on my skin! I've got sensitive skin and have had a patch of dry skin on my forehead for a few weeks now. This got rid of it in one go! I used it last night for the first time and today my skin feels unbelievable smooth and healthy. This was only a sample size and I'm very tempted to buy the full size (as I am with every item of REN that I try)."

"This is, by far, the best of the best clay mask I have ever used in my whole life. I love it so much, please never discontinue it!"

Ms Ines Patricio, 14/01/2011 - Excellent mask

"This is without a doubt the best mask I have ever tried! And the best thing is that you buy a mask but you also get an amazing scrub! You can leave it for a little bit and then scrub your face. It 2 in 1! I strongly recommend this and the price is great!"

Mrs Mette Pedersen, 14/12/2010 - Love it

"I have normal to dry skin and use this to get rid of my blackheads. I had a major panic attack when my local store stopped selling it, so I am happy to have found it again. It's the best mask I have ever used for clearing my skin, and I have use a lot. I can only recommend."

Anonymous, 08/11/2010 - funny stuff!

"it seems odd to let it dry then RUB it off, but it works! good stuff n lasts ages"

Miss Katrine Eggers Hørving, 05/10/2010 - How to use?

"I have just bought this product and so far it's fab. But how often can I use it, do I need to cleanse before and for how long should I leave it in? It would be nice if these things were written on the product like on the peel mask, since I have already forgotten what the lady in shop told me."

REN replied :

Thanks for your feedback! The mask should be applied to clean, dry skin. Allow to dry until the mask can be removed by gently rubbing the skin with your fingertips. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use once a week. The mask works really well with the Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask, we normally recommend that you use this mask first, then follow up with the Pore Minimizing Detox Mask the next day.

Ms gloria szekely, 26/09/2010 - Pore Minimising Detox Mask

"It works, though I was sceptic, and though I have sensitive skin, the mask is gentle and have not experienced gentle and causes no break outs or allergies"

"I have sensitive/dryish skin and it's great to find a clay mask that minimises the blackheads I get around my nose without stripping my skin of oil and drying it out - in fact it leaves my skin nicely soft."

Miss nia becenti, 10/04/2009 - Love It!!

"I received a sample of this at my local Sephora and it cleared out the unsightly pores of my VERY sensitive nose the very first time I used it. I had no reactions what so ever and have ordered all of the products in RENs skincare line! Try it...you will not regret it!!"

Anonymous, 08/12/2008 - Multi-Mineral Detox Face Mask...

"Best mask I have ever used so far. I will continue to use it. Even though it is deep cleansing and you can see it drawing out excess sebum as it dries, you can feel benefits of the mask absorbing into your face too. It's so gentle and the added bonus of it being an exfoliant as you rub it off is very clever."
